Romeo & Juliet


A modern interpretation of Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet' from the mind of Baz Luhrman. I love the style of this film and the way that it has been updated to modern times, while retaining the Shakespearean diction of the play- it makes for an almost overwhelming piece of film. Stylistically it is a great work of editing and camera angles, and i really respect Luhrman's bravery in undertaking such an intimidating work. A fantastic example of creative interpretation.
